Welcome to Season 3 of the Project Space Podcast! Our brand new season starts off with a sequel. Ligia Bouton, who was an artist in residence at VSW in 2022, is back on the podcast for Part 2 of her conversation with Assistant Curator, Hernease Davis. Ligia's first conversation with Hernease was actually the Season 1 finale. If you haven’t already listened to part 1, the link to that episode is in the show notes.

For that first talk with Ligia, Hernease spoke with Ligia inside her Project Space Studio at the very end of her residency. Bouton has been researching the work of Henrietta Swan Leavitt, who is an important yet overlooked historical figure who made groundbreaking contributions to Astrology. Ligia spoke about how she is using photography, performance, glass, musical composition, and installation as an interdisciplinary approach to translate the extensive research she has done on Henrietta Swan Leavitt. In this episode, Ligia shares about returning to VSW to continue her project, and many exciting developments in her work that involves another residency, a major exhibition in Denmark and a public art project in Boston, Massachusetts.
